AVIFAUNA OF LAYSAN | 
AND THE 
NEIGHBOURING ISLANDS 
With a complete history to date of the Birds of the 
Hawaiian Possessions. 
By The Rt. Hon. Lord ROTHSCHILD, Ph.D., F.R.S.,F.L.S., &c. 
Illustrated with 55 finely-coloured plates by KEULEMANS and 
THORBURN, 26 collotype plates & 2 plates of generic characters. 
This sumptuous work deals with an interesting portion of the Pacific 
Islands. Inthe words of the author, “ Scattered about in a north-westerly 
direction from the Sandwich Islands are a number of small islands, rocks, 
and reefs—namely, Necker Isle, French Frigate Shoals, Gardner Island, 
| Maro Reef, Lisianky, Laysan or Moller Island, and some others, Although 
ornithologists have had their eyes on these islands for a long time, they had 
not been trodden by the foot of any ornithologist until 1 sent my ‘lve 
Henry Palmer, to explore them.” The work deals chiefly with Laysan, 
on which island land birds are found, but there is a complete list of birds of 
the Sandwich Islands and a list of species introduced into the islands.
